Another three days later.

They finally arrived in Tancheng.

Compared with Yuncheng, Tancheng is larger, but it is not as lively here. It may be because of the war, the whole city is in a state of strict alert.

There are many soldiers guarding the city gate, and there are often patrolling soldiers nearby. Anyone entering or leaving the city must be questioned and checked.

It can be seen that the situation here is more serious and the control is more stringent.

This is also a good thing. Although there are some troubles and restrictions, it can at least ensure everyone's safety to the greatest extent.

As long as you are alive, everything is easy to talk about.

"Stop! Get off your horse and be inspected!" The soldier guarding the gate saw Fei Qingyan and Xiao Feng coming on horseback, and immediately pointed the spears in their hands at them, and then shouted loudly.

"Whoa~" Fei Qingyan stopped the horse, and then dismounted with Xiao Feng. They had no ill intentions and naturally cooperated with the inspection.

"Where are you from?" The soldier was relieved to see that the two people dressed as "martial artists" were easy to talk to and cooperate with, and then he asked.

"I'm from the Yanyu Sect in the Jiangnan area. I'm Fei Qingyan and he's my apprentice Xiao Feng. We were entrusted by someone to go to the Lingyun Sect to do some business and passed by here." Fei Qingyan said to the guard.

"Hmm..." The soldiers looked at each other and said, "Wait a moment. The administration is very strict now, especially for martial artists! We need to ask the general for instructions."

"Okay, no problem!" Fei Qingyan nodded, and walked aside with Xiao Feng to avoid blocking the way.

Standing quietly aside and waiting.

After a while, the soldier came over with a man in armor. It seemed that his equipment was a level higher than those soldiers, and he looked like a superior.

"Hello! I'm the city guard general of Tancheng, my name is Lin Weidong." City guard general Lin Weidong nodded to Fei Qingyan and Xiao Feng and said, "I'm sorry, the city is blocked during this period. If you want to enter the city... your horses cannot enter and need to be fostered here, but you need to pay a foster fee. It's charged per day. If you want to go to Wancheng, then the next stop should be Bancheng, then I will send your horses to the East Gate, which is the direction to Bancheng."

"That's troublesome!" Fei Qingyan smiled and nodded, "How do we pay for the foster care?"

"You can pay when you pick up the horse! Don't worry, it will definitely not exceed the market price!" Lin Weidong said to Fei Qingyan.

This is true. After all, these are all martial artists. If they dare to charge random fees, it will definitely be a big trouble.

Lin Weidong looked at Fei Qingyan's sword and Xiao Feng's sword. He didn't say anything. After all, martial artists can just not bring their horses with them, but if they are not allowed to bring weapons... conflicts will often arise.

Besides, these martial artists are all quite skilled in boxing and kicking.

"Try not to take out your weapons casually, and please don't cause trouble or see blood, otherwise it will be difficult for us." Lin Weidong said to Fei Qingyan.

"Well, thank you!" Fei Qingyan smiled.

Lin Weidong nodded. Fei Qingyan and Xiao Feng had very good attitudes and were very cooperative, so nothing should happen. Moreover, according to them, they would only stay for a short time and would leave in a few days without causing any trouble.

"By the way, there are some things I want to ask the general. Is it convenient?" Fei Qingyan remembered something and said to Lin Weidong.

"Of course, please. But this is not the place to talk. If you don't mind, please follow me." Lin Weidong said to Fei Qingyan.

"Okay, thank you for your help!" Fei Qingyan nodded and said.

So he took Xiao Feng and followed Lin Weidong.

After leaving the city gate, Lin Weidong brought them to the city defense camp.

"Sit down." Lin Weidong walked into a big tent and said to Fei Qingyan and Xiao Feng.

"Do you have anything to ask?" Lin Weidong asked.

"I would like to ask, what is the current war situation?" Fei Qingyan asked.

"The war situation..." Lin Weidong couldn't help but sigh when he heard Fei Qingyan's question: "It's still ideal. Recently, the major sects have made efforts to relieve a large part of the pressure on the court. However, I don't know if Yu Han and Qi Xiong have discussed this time. Their offensive is very strong, and there are so many guerrilla teams...

And recently...the war may break out completely...When the war starts, everyone will be in trouble. And it is not a short-term thing, it is a long-term war, which may take half a year at the fastest or two to three years at the slowest..."

Listening to Lin Weidong's words, Fei Qingyan and Xiao Feng couldn't help but frown. They didn't expect that things had come to this point...

I thought it was just a short-term invasion...but now it has escalated into a war.

After all, there have been frequent frictions and conflicts over the years, with at least dozens or hundreds of small-scale conflicts and wars every year...

Both sides are probably used to fighting... but this time, the war is really about to start, and it's a matter of either you die or I live... Could it be that the war is really going on? Or maybe there are other reasons...Fei Qingyan doesn’t know about that.

But as it stands now, the situation is serious!

"Have things come to this point..." Xiao Feng said with a frown.

"Yes!" Lin Weidong nodded with a worried look. If possible, who would want to fight? It would all result in death!

But there is no way, the grievances have been accumulated for a long time, and there are already many conflicts.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Lin Weidong said.

"I wonder when this war will start?" Fei Qingyan asked. If time is short, the letter may not be delivered.

"It's hard to say..." Lin Weidong shook his head and said, "This is simply not something I can know at my level... But now conflicts and frictions are becoming more and more frequent... In addition, due to orders from above, various cities have imposed strict bans and started offering rewards for these "invaders", luring a large number of martial artists to take action.

And there are fewer and fewer guerrilla teams coming in... This means that there are more and more soldiers guarding the border, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for Yu Han and Qi Xiong to come in... The war is not far away! "

"I understand...Thank you, General, for clearing up my doubts!" ​​Fei Qingyan nodded, thanked Lin Weidong with some worry, then stood up and said goodbye.

"It's okay. Take care. I won't see you off." Lin Weidong waved his hand.

This general is very easy to talk to.

The information revealed to them is also very important to them.

"Master...the war is about to start, can we still deliver the letter?" Xiao Feng frowned slightly and asked Fei Qingyan.

"I don't know..." Fei Qingyan shook her head and said, she also had a sad face, and they were already halfway through the journey...

"How about this! Master, I have thought of a way." Xiao Feng thought for a while and said to Fei Qingyan.
